That is the lowest wholesale quote we recorded that week from the single New York distributor we track — not a market average, and not an official terminal quotation.

What is in the case
The supplier states no weight for the 48 - CT pack, so we quote it as a pack and publish no price per pound for it. That is a limit of the source, and the reason our figure stays comparable from one week to the next: a per-pound price built on an assumed case weight moves whenever the assumption does. Green onions/scallion are quoted in four pack sizes this week, from $6.00 for the 2EA to $36.00 for the 48 - CT. The quotes are not comparable per pound — the supplier does not publish a weight for every pack — so we list them side by side rather than ranking them.

About Green onions/scallion
Onions divide into storage bulbs and fresh alliums, and they are not one market. Yellow, Spanish and white onions are a stored crop, shipped out of Oregon and Washington and backed by Peru and Mexico as domestic storage runs down, with New York State growing them in Orange County and the western part of the state. Vidalia is a sweet onion with a defined shipping window out of Georgia rather than a year-round item, and it does not substitute for a storage onion. Green onions, pearl onions and shallots follow their own supply and share nothing with the bulbs except a category name.
Buying notes
Storage onions are bought in fifty pound sacks, red in twenty-five and Vidalia in forty, while scallions are quoted by the forty-eight count crate, pearl onions as a case of eight-ounce cups and shallots in ten pound mesh. Red onion and scallion are also carried in half and quarter packs, which is the workable size for a kitchen that is not running a prep line.
